He could have killed someone on the ground in the same sense that when I hit a golfball on the course I could kill someone.

He went home and two hours later the police arrived and interrupted him having sexual relations with someone. Laughing That's why he's Colbert's Alpha Dog of the Week.

Slater then grabbed two beers from the galley and, in a move straight out of an action movie, popped the lever for the airliner�s inflatable chute and slid down it onto the tarmac outside the terminal door.


I quit my first hogwon in a similar fashion.

Laughing Heres a big Cheers to Mr. Slater!

This shows the chute deploying and the nutter going down the chute.

No, he's not a hero but he's also not crazy either. Working people put up with a ton of crap in daily life and sometimes just lose it. Wasn't the best decision to do what he did but not really all that unusual.

Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of EFL teachers have had left their hogwans in Korea in a similar fashion.
